Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Indiana
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
334 AM EDT Thu Sep 19 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Strong diurnal mixing and a dry airmass over the region suggest
MinRH values will fall to around 25-30% this afternoon with fuel
moisture dropping below 8%. However, winds are only expected to
peak around 5 to 7 knots. So while there is a concern for fires
to pop up given the dry conditions, wildfire spread is not a huge
concern due to light winds.

Some municipalities in central Indiana have activated a burn ban.
Please exercise caution if burning today.
